The Babylon Bee is a Christian online publication that publishes satire on a wide variety of topics. In response to yesterday's confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to SCOTUS, it ran a piece under the headline "In Historic Moment, Senate Confirms First-Ever Non-Biologist To Supreme Court", a reference to Jackson's statement during her confirmation hearings that, not being a biologist, she was unable to define what a woman is (despite one of her qualifications for nomination having been the fact that she's a dark-skinned woman).
Clearly, the Bee's editors were unaware of Justice Scalia's concurrence in the abomination known as Association for Molecular Pathology v Myriad Genetics, in which he admitted he is not a biologist (and implicitly showed he knew nothing of organic chemistry or biochemistry either):
"I join the judgment of the Court, and all of its opinion except Part I–A and some portions of the rest of the opinion going into fine details of molecular biology. I am unable to affirm those details on my own knowledge or even my own belief. It suffices for me to affirm, having studied the opinions below and the expert briefs presented here, that the portion of DNA isolated from its natural state sought to be patented is identical to that portion of the DNA in its natural state; and that complementary DNA (cDNA) is a synthetic creation not normally present in nature."
Regardless, we're looking forward to more brilliant, reality-defying decisions from SCOTUS in the area of patent law once Justice Breyer is out and Justice Jackson is in.
BTW, the best line in the Bee's story is actually the one about Kamala Harris, to which the Courts' decisions in Bilski and Alice are more germane than are Myriad and Mayo.
